Much faster for small batch that write the alpha value. Code can
be enabled with accurate_date option.
Here a summary of all DATE possibilities:
1/ no overlap of primitive
=> texture barrier (pro no setup of stencil and single draw)
2/ alpha written
=> small batch => texture barrier (primitive by primitive). Done in N-primitive draw calls.
(based on GL_ARB_texture_barrier)
=> bigger batch => compute the first good primitive, slow but only 2 draw calls.
(based on GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store)
=> Otherwise there is the UserHacks_AlphaStencil but it is a hack!
3/ alpha written
=> full setup of stencil ( 2 draw calls)
Group opengl calls into a nice name.
Apitrace shows them in a tree format that support folding. Previously it
was a long flat list (10K-40K of lines by frame)
I align the call number with the internal s_n variable. This way it is
easy to map GSdx dump output with the GL debugger :)
ogl_texture_storage 1 creates texture corruption.
Advance date is too slow, code need to be updated (properly) to uses 2 passes only not 3
Maybe one could be enough (sometimes)
Copy the full line into the pbo. Dma will only take GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH
- increase memcpy size by 2 in the pbo
+ single memcpy will be faster and can use sse
Enable buffer_storage extension:
* GL_CLIENT_STORAGE_BIT was required (it is the duty of TexSubImage to copy data into the GPU mem)
* Enable the extension by default
A couple of fallbacks were introduced for the Mesa driver that only support 3.0
DSA will require a recent Mesa which already support GL3.3
Require at least SandyBridge for Intel GPU
* use DebugOutputToFile as a callback of gl error. Add a breakpoint to
find the culprit GL call
* use string instead of char[n]
Note: CheckDebugLog is potentially useless now
* GL_ARB_clip_control: reduce z fighting
* GL_ARB_clear_texture: no real speed gain (but improve code quality)
* GL_ARB_bindless_texture: +1fps (if you're CPU limited)
* Fix to create a 3.0 GLES context
* set a default precision to fix most of shader compilation issue
* Crash later because of GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_ATTACHMENT
=> need to test opensource driver
Note: DATE is used for shadows (persona 3) and others effect
You can disable it when you disable gl image extension (override_GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store = 0)
You can also enable it on AMD too (set it to 1 this time) but no guarantee.
If you feel the extension is too slow, you can try disable some gl barrier (aka "damn the torpedo full steam ahead!").
It can be done with the option UserHacks_DateGL4 = 1. Otherwise just disable the extension.
Note: don't enable UserHacks_AlphaStencil in the same time. GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store is an alternative implementation.
Enabling both in the same time will lead to undefined (well surely wrong) behavior.

* gui refresh
+ Use some tab to reduce heigth for small screen
+ Add logz option
+ remove broken/experimental keyword. GSdx ogl is not too bad ;)
* autodetect GL_NV_depth_buffer_float
Linux tester you are welcome!

Best setting if you driver support GL_NV_depth_buffer_float => GL_NV_Depth = 1 & logz = 0
Otherwise => GL_NV_Depth = 0 & logz = 1
Explanation of the bug:
Dx z position ranges from 0.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)
Why it sucks:
GS small depth value will be "mapped" to -1.0f. In others all small values will be 1.0f! Terrible lost
of accuraccy.
The GL_NV_depth_buffer_float extension allow to set the near plane as -1.0f.
So
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges 0.0f to 1.0f)"
will become
"GL z Position ranges from -1.0f to 1.0f (FS ranges -1.0f to 1.0f)"
and therefore
"z posision [0.0f;1.0f] will map to FS [0.0f;1.0f]" as DX
Yes we just get back all precision lost previously :)
However you need hardware (intel?) and driver support (free driver?/gles?) :(

* try to use more subroutine on VS&PS, unfortunately hit a driver crash!
* Call Attach/DetachContext through GSDevice so I can unmap currently mapped buffer
* Implement glsl part of GL_ARB_bindless texture, again hit another driver crash!
* various fix of GL_ARB_buffer_storage. Basic benchmark show only improvement on 'cold' case, I guess it will improve smoothness
* try to fix GL_clear_texture, no success so far. It seem the extension is limited to basic texture (aka no depth/stencil)

* GL_ARB_shader_subroutine for perf
fix for nvidia => add missing shader declaration. Nvidia got +4fps on colin3 :)
For the moment only 2 PS parameters are supported. Code need to be extended to support others games that often
switch shader program (like xenosaga).
require GL4 class hardware and the option override_GL_ARB_shader_subroutine = 1
Note: strangely on AMD linux it is slower!
* GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store for accuraccy (Date)
Use a signed integer texture and reenable color buffer writing
Current status: Amagami_transparency.gs & P3_battle_shadows.gs are now working on Nvidia with a small perf impact.
Current implementation detail:
1/ setup the standard stencil as before
2/ on remaining pixel, draw once to compute first primitive that will write a fail alpha value.
3/ final draw based on primitive id of step 2
Note: I think we would get a bad behavior if depth test&mask are enabled on step 2/3
Note2: on my limited testcase the perf impact was on CPU. It would be possible to merge step1&2 to nullifying it (could
even be faster actually), however it would require more GPU power.
Again require GL4 class hardware. And the option UserHacks_DateGL4 = 1

* some preliminary work to test/benchmark bindless texture in the future (glsl was not yet updated)
Bindless texture allow to get a GPU texture pointer and then set it directly
to the shader as a basic uniform.
=> no more texture unit selection/validation
=> no more texture validation neither texture hash lookup
3rdparty: update gl header to the latest gl4.4

Card that support gs:
remain only a gs to generate sprite from a line. Even dummy gs are costly for the GPU.
Card that don't support gs:
remove useless copy of color for line and triangle primitives
Note for dx: opengl 3.2 (maybe not gles) supports both flat interpolation
convention (GL_FIRST_VERTEX_CONVENTION or GL_LAST_VERTEX_CONVENTION). It might
be possible to shuffle vertex index to put the last vertex in first position.

The idea was to replace shader program swith by pointer function calls inside
shaders. At least parameters that are often changed between draw call. So far
I only ported atst and colclip. Unfortunately code is "slower" (on GSdx standalone).
For the moment keep the code but disabled.
If I understand well the validation of program is done in the "driver thread"
but the additional call are done in the overloaded MTGS thread. Apitrace
profiling shows faster GPU draw calls. Another possibility is that the driver still
need to validate the draw call because of others state change.
Here some stats on colin3 (90 frames):
without subroutine: UseProgram 125246
with subroutine: UseProgram 2906, subroutine 125945 => 3605 extra calls overhead (not
all parameters are ported to subroutine)

* move most of gl states into a separate namespace. Extend it to depth/stencil/blend micro state
=> save 10,000 opengl call by frame for colin mcrae 3
* Only setup blend state of first drawbuffer
* Don't request anymore a debug context on dev/release build
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5713 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* clean extension management and fix compilation of previous gl44 code.
* Use pixel buffer object to upload texture data.
=> avoid crash on AMD driver
=> a bit faster and probably got some margins for the future

* preliminary work for GL4.4 extensions (ARB_clear_texture & ARB_multi_bind). Disabled until I got a 4.4 driver
Note: I plan also to use ARB_buffer_storage
* compute texture gl option in the constructor (avoid a couple of swith case)
* redo texture unit management. Unit 0-2 for shaders, Unit 3 for texture operations. MultiBind will allow to bind
shader input without disturbing texture binding points.

* add a non-working hack: UserHacks_DateGL4, goal was to replace UserHacks_AlphaStencil
+ Detection of good/bad samples is based on primitive ID variable. However I'm not sure
the behavior is always the same between draw call...Anyway let's keep a copy of the current
work
* Dump integer texture into text csv
* add gl4.2 ARB_shader_image_load_store extension (needed by UserHacks_DateGL4)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5707 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* use gles header file, disable opengl code (mainly GLX, ARB_sso, geometry shader)
* Define properly the function pointer, GLES use basic linking whereas GL must get the symbol dynamically
* cmake: properly search and set libglesv2.so
* don't use dual source blending => HW renderer work (only miss unimportant FBA)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5701 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* uniform was wrongly set before the activation of the program (free driver only)
* Always use only 1 drawbuffer. Easier besides previous setup was wrong for convert:ps_main1
GLES trial (v3):
* add the cmake option GLES_API. Note library (libgles) are hardcoded for the moment
* Disable opengl check
* Disable gl_GetDebugMessageLogARB not supported!
* Emulate gl_DrawElementsBaseVertex, add manually the index offset (surely slow but work)
* Fix hundred of shader error (no implicit cast of integer to float...)
Unfortunately GLES doesn't support dual blending so no blend in hardware renderer. Otherwise it is fine
